From Rallies to Ruins - Nuremberg & Berlin


It's a matter of perspective



In Nuremberg, your pupils can begin to understand how it felt to be a small part of a massive machine

Our study trips to Nuremberg and Berlin help bring out the reality of life in the Third Reich - why ordinary people supported, or at least did not oppose, such a brutal régime.

From the gigantism of the Nuremberg Rally Grounds and the unbuilt Germania to the tranquil lakeside setting of the Wannsee Conference, our local expert guides interpret the sites in a way that helps us understand the workings of the Nazi machine.

In a pattern that will become familiar over the next days, Matt relates it to his own experience: "I've been to rock concerts and I guess it's a similar thing. There's a real vibe. Everyone's there to see the same thing, to do what everyone else does." And, as the guide points out, Matt's reaction is an echo of what the British ambassador felt as he watched one of the rallies. "For two minutes," he recorded, "I became a National Socialist."

You will have the personal attention of our Central Europe expert throughout the planning of your tour and whilst you are away; so you can be sure your pupils will get the most appropriate experience for their studies.  Visits are themed to suit your syllabus.

Central hotels and single rooms for staff

Wherever possible, we use three- and four-star hotels rather than hostels, and accompanying staff have single room accommodation.  Unlike many other school tour operators, we include all visits, guiding and entry fees in the price of your tour.  We are confident that on a like-for-like basis, even with all these pluses, you will find our prices very competitive.

Extend your tour

You might extend your tour and discover the wartime history of Theresienstadt and Prague or of Kraków and Auschwitz.
